Arteast Workshop for May 23/24 cancelled
Unfortunately we did
not get enough people to register for the workshop (Only 6 of the 14
needed to meet the costs). Regrettably, we have to cancel. I know
some were looking forward to the fun weekend. I suggest
you could contact Shirley and see if you could join one of her
workshops in Westport. www.shirleymancino.com
her email is smcgroup@yahoo.com
. So sorry, Mary Ann Varley

Communiqué
Arteast's hard-copy, quarterly
newsletter—Communiqué—is popular with our members, but
did you know that it is also available on our Web site at
http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php? A notification when a new
issue is released is communicated via the weekly Arteast Digest.
Posting of the Web version may be viewed in full dazzling colour, at
least two weeks before the print version (black and white) is
delivered by Canada Post. With rising postal costs, some members
have requested that they be removed from the mailing list for the
printed copy. Other advantages of going with the online Communiqué
are:
- reduces printing and envelope
costs;
- makes Arteast more "green";
- no more hunting for misplaced
issues (Arteast's Web site has the current and all back issues).
Printed
copies will be available at our monthly Grow With Art meetings and
the Promenade Arteast gallery at the Shenkman Arts Centre. If you
prefer to read the newsletter online, please e-mail us at
editor@arteastottawa.com to have your name removed from the
newsletter mailing list.
La
copie imprimée du trimestriel d’Arteast – Communiqué
– est
populaire auprès de ses membres, mais saviez-vous qu’il est aussi
disponible sur le site Web http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php
? Lors de sa publication, une notice paraît dans l’hebdomadaire
Arteast Digest. Sur le Web il peut être lu et vu en couleurs deux
semaines avant la version imprimée ( noir et blanc) postée par
Poste Canada. Compte tenu du coût postal croissant plusieurs membres
ont enlevé leur nom pour l’envoi postal - vers le Web. Il y a
d’ailleurs d’autres avantages du Communiqué
en
ligne tels que :
- réduire les
coûts de l’imprimé et de l’enveloppe;
- Arteast plus
‘vert’;
-
ne plus être à la recherche du numéro manquant (le Web d’Arteast
conserve le numéro courant et les anciens numéros).
Des
copies imprimées seront disponibles à la réunion mensuelle L’Art
en herbe et à la galerie Promenade Arteast au Centre Shenkman. Si
vous préférez lire le Communiqué en ligne, s.v.p. contactez :
editor@arteastottawa.com
afin d’enlever votre nom de la liste d’envoi postal.

Blackburn Hamlet Library
Blackburn
Hamlet Library in conjunction with Arteast is proud to present an
exhibition
of
encaustic artworks by Marie
Leger.
This solo show is titled Spirit
of the hinterland
and
runs from May 30th to July 25th .
Marie
Leger works in encaustics, which is basically, melted pigmented
beeswax painted on a wood surface then fused using a torch or heat
gun. She manipulates the wax through scraping, re-melting, drawing,
painting and embedding found objects. This combination of painting
and dimensional layering of wax and objects leads to rich textures
and a luminous depth.
Marie
Leger finds the unexpected textures and results of working with
encaustics, keep the painting process exciting and fresh and reveal
an unpredictable beauty to be found in imperfection.
This
is a unique opportunity for the public to enjoy, encourage and
support artists
in
their local community as well as the Blackburn Hamlet Library.
Location:
Blackburn Hamlet branch of the Ottawa Public Library, 199 Glenpark,
Ottawa K1B 5B8
Hours:
Monday to Thursday: 10 - 8:30, Friday: 1:00 - 6:00, Saturday: 10:00-
5:00, Sunday: closed.

Arteast
artist Maureen Rooney Mitchell presents an exhibition of
paintings
at
The Legal Information Centre of Ottawa, Suite 1400, 85 Albert
St, Ottawa.
In
this exhibit Maureen has included something that represents each of
her muses from the whimsy of ‘Too Close’ to the winsomeness of
“Cartoon Watching”. Maureen’s
artwork is not confined to one subject matter, and when
she tackles an artwork it usually fits one of several
moulds: it has personal meaning, or, there is something
whimsical that has tickled her funny bone that she wishes to pursue,
or, there is a subject that just cries out to be explored, and
sometimes, a pretty picture is just a pretty picture !
The
exhibition runs from May 1st to
August 31st .
Hours:
Monday: 1-5, Tuesday to Thursday: 9-5 , Friday: 9-12.
